Période

Presumably used c. late 1890s- late 1940s; possibly also used earlier.

Canada

Part of a collection of hand tools belonging to James Anthony (1883-1966), an English born and trained carpenter who came to Canada c. 1910 and worked in and around Ottawa, ON. Following the 1916 fire which destroyed the Parliament buildings and damaged the Library, Mr. Anthony was hired as a foreman with the restoration crews. Until 1920, he was involved in the rebuilding of the Peace Tower and the installation of new windows at the Library of Parliament. He later worked with various builders in the Ottawa area, retiring in the late1940s. After his death in 1966 the tools were given to his son Jack, who in turn donated them to CSTMC. [Ref. 1] Thomas Minors [b. 1853] was a carpenter in Truro, Cornwall. Frederick Wellington (b. 1850] was a carpenter in Truro, Cornwall [and son of carpenter Daniel Wellington]. Fred lived on Kenwyn St., within several blocks of T. Minors and J. Anthony. [Ref. 2] This plane may have belonged to these carpenters before it was acquired by J. Anthony.

Fonction

Plane used to shape rounded edge.

Technique

Part of one of a pair of planes known as "hollow and round" planes. Particularly popular with carpenters, cabinet makers, and joiners, these planes can be used for a variety of shaping and trimming, and for moulding work. Most moulding planes are "named" after the section they produce in the wood, but round and hollow planes are an exception. Round planes produce a hollow section, and hollow planes cut a round one. [Ref. 3] 9 pairs of "Hollows and Rounds" constituted a full set of these planes, which increased in size from 1/8-inch to 1 1/2-inches by 1/16ths of an inch. Half sets (either odd or even number sizes) were commonly held in many tradesman's toolboxes. [Ref. 3]
